Millwood House Day Nursery is a spacious, homely nursery with a large secure garden, providing a happy environment within which children can develop and pick up new skills as individuals. All activities are based on learning through play, and staff can turn any activity into a learning experience for your child and sometimes themselves too!

Children work through the nursery from The Ladybird Room (0-2yrs) to The Caterpillar Room (2-3yrs) and finally to The Butterfly Room (3-5yrs).

Each room has its own access to the extensive garden, which includes a nature play area, mini allotment, outdoor reading lodge and a private Ladybird Room garden.

Millwood House prides itself on continuing strong parent partnerships throughout your child's time at the nursery. They love nothing more than inviting parents in for special events to see the nursery truly come to life.

Our 2 year old loves going to nursery, he's constantly occupied with so much to do. He has built trusting relationships with the staff, and many of the children who attend. His confidence has flourished since starting the nursery in October 2024.
As parents we are so pleased we found Millwood House
Nursery. We always receive a welcoming greeting from all the staff. Our son is given back to us with a fresh clean face, appropriate clothing, and a smile..what more can we ask for.
During the Christmas period our son was very poorly. The staff were so supportive, with kind words, gestures and surprisingly making adjustments to the Nursery arrangements. On return, the staff continued to communicate with us regarding our sons wellbeing throughout his day.
We could continue to express our gratitude in the standard of care Millwood House has provided our family with, but its probably best, if anyone has the chance, to attend there in person. What a great site. Keep up the good work guys.

Our family has had an incredible experience at Millwood House Nursery. From the start, the care and dedication of the nursery staff has been clear. Both of our boys have thrived here, growing in confidence, creativity, and happiness thanks to the nurturing environment. The outdoor space is a standout
feature- our boys have loved their outdoor adventures, which have enhanced their learning and play. The staff's ability to create magical, engaging experiences in such a beautiful setting is unmatched. The nursery's efforts to involve parents have been amazing, with the Christmas show and visit from Santa being recent highlights. The thoughtful party bags and personalised presents show the care and attention to detail that make Millwood House feel like family. Leaving Millwood House is bittersweet, and we'll cherish the memories forever. We can't recommend it highly enough- it's an exceptional place that has
given our boys the best possible start. Thank you to everyone at Millwood House!

My kids have been in Millwood House Day Nursery for 3 years, and my experience has been wonderful from day dot.
The staff is fully invested in your kids and works on their behaviour and learning.
At Millwood House Day Nursery they have a beautiful back garden, fully secured with lots of activities
to do, and the best is they encourage kids to be out in fresh air and be more active.
My kids love going to their nursery.

Reply from Sharon Avery, Nursery Manager at Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd

What a lovely review! Thank you so much. The time has passed so quickly since these two babies joined us and it's going to be hard to see them leave us to go to school. They are always smiling! We wish them success and happiness in their new school and beyond.

Both my children have attended Millwood House and both have enjoyed going. The butterfly room has amazing staff who are always caring, compassionate, but most of all fun! The kids have such a great time whilst they are there. The activities are endless and the huge garden and outside space is brilliant
for them in the summer.

Reply from Sharon Avery, Nursery Manager at Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for your kind words, which we have shared with all the staff. We certainly are going to miss how he bounces into nursery in the morning and makes a point of greeting everyone individually - he's our very own jumping bean and his enthusiasm is infectious! We wish him all the best in his new setting.

Millwood has been the best choice we made. We looked around at other nurseries but the care, the outside space and overall facilities made us choose them. Since my son has been going there (7 months old for 1 day a week and 5 days a week since 9 months old) he has grown and learnt so much. The staff
are amazing, keep us updated daily, caring and make me feel like they are an extended part of our family with how well they care for my son. My mum's guilt is definitely less knowing that he loves it there (runs in every day without looking back at me) and that they treat him so well. Couldn’t ask for a better nursery and staff.

Reply from Claire Tarrant, Office Manager at Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your really lovely words, which have been shared with all our staff. They mean so much, especially to those in the Baby Room. Your son is an absolute joy and really throws himself into all the activities. His cheeky grin and personality certainly keep our staff on their toes! It has been amazing to watch him grow from such a small baby.

My second experience with Millwood is very different from the first. Since my child has left to start reception I have emailed twice to share my feedback. Neither email was replied to, I even emailed to ask if my email had been received, but nothing.
In my opinion the quality of staffing has deteriorated.
My son did the same activities pretty much every session. The preschool room was more playtime and no learning for school readiness (unlike my first child's experience).
I came back to this nursery because of the experience I had with my first child. Sadly my 2nd experience was not the same.

Reply from Denise Barron, Managing Director at Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd

We are very sorry your email was lost in our system initially. We have now reviewed it, and you have received a full response from the Owner, along with a copy of our Ofsted Report from July 2023 which rated Millwood House Nursery GOOD in all areas, praising the staff and quality of teaching. Millwood House Nursery has an ethos of learning through play and the pre-school activities prepare all children for school. Children attending Millwood House Nursery between 2020 and 2023 are of the Covid Generation and many were later in development in some areas of learning however most catch up by the time they leave for school. We have such a large amount of space both inside and out that we are able to offer an extensive range of educational activities for the staff to engage the children in, changing daily. Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. We wish both of your children all the best in their academic careers following their start at Millwood House Nursery.

Both of my children have been at Millwood House Day Nursery and have had an excellent experience there. I trust them completely to have the best interest of my child at heart. Equal measures of being inside and learning and going to the garden to have experiences. I feel the staff have prepared my children
for school. Would highly recommend the nursery.

Lovely nursery. Brilliant staff. My son has loved it since starting and has settled in very quickly. My son has additional needs, and the nursery couldn't have been better with taking this on, especially as they have never had a child with his needs before. I couldn't be more grateful as I was so nervous
to send him.

What a really wonderful nursery and fantastic staff. I was apprehensive about going back to work and my daughter settling as she is extremely clingy and family also have trouble keeping her from becoming increasingly upset if I leave her. She settled really quickly and has developed some lovely bonds
with the staff in her room. She loves it and happily waves me off in the mornings. Staff are really caring and affectionate with her and it's reassuring to see how much they care and go the extra mile when she's out of sorts but not poorly enough to stay at home, which has been a lot as you can imagine when kids start nursery at first! Couldn't wish for a better nursery.

A fantastic homely nursery with a whole team of friendly staff who care so much for the children they look after. The team in the baby unit worked hard to help my daughter settle in as quickly as possible which really put my mind at rest. The garden is a lovely space for the children to play in which
is a bonus as our daughter loves being outside as much as possible. I can't recommend Millwood House highly enough. Thank you to a very dedicated and hardworking team!

Both of my children have attended Millwood House Day Nursery since they were one and two. They have grown in confidence a great deal since then. The nursery has a lovely community feel to it. The children have plenty of time to explore outdoors in the huge garden and are always kept busy with different

This is such a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending since he was ten months and he has grown up so much. The staff are so warm, friendly and he has such a great relationship with all who work in his room. As a first-time mum returning to work, I was very apprehensive about leaving my son with
anyone except family, but from day one, I have never thought twice about leaving him. My son gets so excited when we pull into the car park and runs into the nursery without looking back! He does something new every day, and I love that they play outside in the fresh air daily. Couldn't recommend Millwood House Day Nursery enough.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.778) out of 10 for Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.531 for Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.531

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.247 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Millwood House Day Nursery Ltd is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.547

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
